2009-2010 Scholarship Awards

The Lifesaving Society – Nova Scotia Branch has established two (2), Five Hundred Dollar ($500.00)
scholarships to be awarded to Lifesaving Society award holders to assist with the cost of post secondary
education.

The Lifesaving Society is a national volunteer organization and registered charity, composed of tens of
thousands of individual members and over 2,000 affiliated aquatic facilities, municipalities, waterfronts and
schools. Established in England in 1891 as The Swimmers' Life Saving Society, we became the Royal Life
Saving Society in 1904. Today, we are known to Canadians simply as the Lifesaving Society.

You may be eligible to receive one of these awards if you are a Lifesaving Society award holder who is currently
enrolled in a full time post secondary education course. The Lifesaving Society reserves the right not to award
either of the scholarships in the event that no suitable candidates apply. The basic criteria for selection for the
scholarships are as follows: academic performance, financial need and proven dedication to the vision of
the Lifesaving Society, which is to make Nova Scotia a water smart and water active province.
